111?' felll oughly the groat sufferings
mat were fAiM-iivut:v?i vy
those who lived In the Southern States
at that time. The continual blockade
nlong the waterfront on the cast and
smith, tho armies on the north, the Mis
sissippi Iliver and the mountains on the
west, mado It almost Imposslblo for the
Introduction of materials essential for
the proper carrying on of a great wnr.
Tho heroic strujrglo waged under these
disadvantageous circumstances mnle
tlio four years' combat ono of the most
retnarkablo wars of modern times.
A description of the efforts made In
scientific directions has never been sat
isfactorily written, but within a few
weeks, In a pleasant way, tinder the
title of "Applied Chemistry In the
South During the Civil Wnr." Profes
sor John W. Mallolt, of the University
of Virginia, spoke before tho Chemical
Society of AVushlugton of some of his
experiences.
In beginning, he referred to the great
lack of preservatives that wero essen
tial, nud Indeed required, for tho pres
ervation of food. Fortunately, tho salt
deposits In Louisiana wero promptly
thought of, and advantage tukeu of
their existence for exploitation nnd pro
duction of that evcry-day essential, so
that an ample stock at least of the pre
servative was soon available. The sup
plies of coffee and tea were very soon
exhausted, and substitutes wore Intro
duced. For coffee roasted beans of
various kinds, sweet potatoes, and
cereals, came 'Into everyday use, and
the leaves of various herbs were em
ployed In "placd of tea. The Joy of the
first cup of coffee after tho close of the
war formed a delight that can never
be forgotten. The necessity of preserv
ing the cattle, and the employment of
horses In the army as well as the de
mand by the soldiers for shoes, soon
exhausted the leather supply. As a re
sult leather became such a rarity that
a good pair of boots at tho close of the
war was worth several hundred dollars
In Confederate money. As a substitute,
fibres were worked up and coated with
a varnish, forming a sort of material
similar to, oilcloth, which came Into use
for many purposes. The employment
of petroleum oil as an lllumlnant was
at Its beginning. Colza r.nd other oils
were similarly used at that time, but
these soon disappeared, and the old'
time candle dip prevailed. For pur
poses where an oil was absolutely es
sential, recourse was had to fish oil
Taper was very scarce, and there were
but few, if any, mills In tho South, and
these produced a very Inferior quality
of paper, so that for writing purposes
the blank leaves of old account books
were employed, and for printing pur
poses wall paper, on which many nws
papers of the time were printed, was
largely used. Only the crudest kinds
of Ink were to be had, and In most
cases they were made by adding water
to the refuse In the Ink bottle until the
writing became so faint as to be scarce
ly visible.
The great coal deposits of Pennsyl
vania being no longer available for
fuel, recourse whs had to the bltum
inous beds o'f Virginia, although of
course In many cases wood was all that
was required. It goes without saying
that the supply of paint rapidly disap
peared. Ilowever, there wero numer
ous deposits of ocher that were availa
ble, and crudo varieties of paints were
soon manufactured In sufficient quantl
tics to supply the demand.
One of tho importaut. Indeed, neces
sary, elements In tho carrying on of a
war Is artillery, and to fight without
gunpowder Is practically impossible.
Accordingly, gunpowder mills were es
tablished at several localities in the
South. The supply of niter was soon
exhausted, and. search was made for
that material In caves and elsewhere
throughout the South. These yielded
a certain amount, but the future was
provided for by the establishment of
niter bods. StlU, the end came too soon
to permit of their being avullable.
There were no sulphur deposits In the
South, but fortunately at tho beginning
ef the war there was a largo amount
of that article In New Orleans, where
It had been used In the clarification of
sugar. Charcoal was of course more
rcadjly obtainable, and after some ex
perlments It was found that the wood
from the cottonwood tree yielded the
most satisfactory material.
The manufacture of fulminate of
mercury for percussion caps wns car
rled on to a limited extent, and the
copper for the caps was obtained from
the turpentine stills, which were all
collected from North Carolina and used
for that purpose.
There were four principal medicines
required, namely, quinine, morphine,
ether nnd chloroform. These were pro
cured, so far as possible, by smuggling,
either through tho lines or by blockade
runners, and numerous substitutes
were Introduced. For Instance, for qui
nine bitter' barks were used wherever
possible, especially dogwood, and the
dread malaria was by this means held
practically In check. Morphine was al
most entirely brought la by means of
the blockade runners.
At the beginning of the war there
ware no large metallurgical works In
the South, with the single exception
of the Iron foundries at New Orleans
and .Richmond. The early capture of1
New Orleans left'ln Klchmond the only
large available foundry, and the Trede
gar Iron .Works became the principal
source for articled made .of Iron. For
ores, recourse was had to tha deposit
pruj
from the South, and It was necessity
that led to the exploiting of the depos
its of Iron In Alabama and elsewhere
along the Appalachian Mountain
range; Indeed, a primitive blast furnace,
was erected where the city of Blrmlng.
ham now stands. Copper was had to a
limited extent from the Duektowil
Works In Tennessee, bp more largely
from tho stills, as previously men-
tloncd, that had been used In the manu.
facture of turpentine. Lead and nine
were only to be had In limited quanti
ties, and wero obtalucd chiefly from
mines In Virginia.
Modern Cnva-Dwrltore of Anatrnlla,
Mr. Lydekker drew attention, In nil
article published ft few years ago, to
tho evidence In favor of nn Asiatic
origin for the aborigines of Australia,
whose nearest relatives then appeared
to be the Vcddas of Ceylon. In n letter
from Macassar the Messrs Sarasln,
who are traveling In Celebes, announce
the discovery In tho mountains of that
Island of ft primitive people the Toaln
presenting a remarkably physical re
mblaneo to the Veddns. Although
theo people have now been consider
ably liiilni'iiced In the modo of life by
contact with the Bmglnese of the coasl
districts, there Is ft decisive evldencl
that a short time ago they wero cave-
dwellers (as Indeed ore some of thelf
number now), w hile within a century
or so neo they wero In the habit of
using chipped stone arrow-heads and
other weapons nnd implements. Ther
an be little doubt that tho Toaln wer
the primitive Inhabitants of Celebes,
and that they wero driven to take rof
tigo In the mountains by the Malay In
vaders, with whom, however, they now
hold ft certain amount of Intercourse.
Assuming their affinity to the Vcddas
to be true, and It Is scarcely likely that
such a remarkable resemblance can be
merely occidental, we have much
stronger evidence than before as to the
probable Asiatic origin of the Austra
llan aborigines. Philadelphia Ttle

With regard to tho standard ol
weight for growing children, that us
ually given by authorities In the mattet
Is that at five years of age a child
should weigh about as many pounds ol
It Is Inches high. As a rule, this will
not be much over or tinder forty
pounds. Children who come of larg
families should weigh something mor
than that The rate of Increase should
be about two pounds for every Inch
of growth, with a tendency for the
weight to exceed this standard propor
tionately rather than to fall below it
When a child Is rather heavier in pro
portion to its height than this stand
ard, It is a sign of good health. If the
child Is growing rapidly it should not
be allowed to fall much below It wlth
out being mado to rest more than has
been the custom before. A deficiency
of weight In proportion to height Is al
ways on unfavorable sign. Any Inter
ruption in the progress of Increase of
weight, especially during the continu
ance of growth, must be a danger sig
nal that should not be neglected by
those interested In the patient West

In the spring, while the ground Is
soft, Is the proper time to put down the
fence posts, where you are going to
construct your new fence next summer.
Havo the posts well sharpened and
they can easily be driven Into the
ground with a heavy wooden maul.
Where tho ground Is naturally hard
It will make It considerable easier to
drive them down if a small hole is
first made with a crowbar where the
post Is to stand. While driving down
posts the person doing It should stand
upon something, to make it easier. A
piece of board on top of an empty
barrel will do. I prefer to drlvo wa.-xon

better, wood nshes. If neressery, coin-

worn-out field will not produce a crop

gotten In condition for grns In two or
threo seasons. Once in grass it will

In some cases lime alone will enable a
field to gain lu fertility, nnd It Is tho
cheapest method to pursue. Tho old

Failures With Apples.
There are many causes why apples
fall to ripen, which do not all, of
course, affect tho same tree, but one
or more of them may causo the premo
hire dropping of fruit 1. Tho trees
may be weakened by a severe winter,
which may injuro them in trunk, root
or branches, leaving vitality enough to
form and not perfect tho fruit. 2. Wet
weather, following dry weather, will
cause a sudden growth and mnko the
stems of the apples so brlttlo that they
will break and fall. 3. Root lice may
rob the roots of sap, weaken the tree
and cause tho apple to fall. 4. Sqdden
changes from wet to dry will cause
an Irregular growth of tho fruit, and
consequently It will drop. 5. Borers
may weaken the vitality of tho tree.
6. Curcullos and coddling moths may
attack the fruit ' 7. The soil may be
too poor to support the fruit 8. The
tree may blossom unduly late, thus
allowing the growth of tlw tree to get
the start of tho fruit and rob It of the
nourishment, thus causing it to fall,
0. Cold nights may affect tho vigor of
the fruit. germs, which may grow for
a short tlnio and then prematurely
fall. 10. Heavy winds may sway the
half-formed fruit so severely as. to
loosen the stein and cause the fruit to
finally drop. 11. The apples may draw
the sap from tho leaves and weaken
the tree. 12. Fungi, such as rusts and
blights, may attack the leaves. 13,
Overbearing the previous year may ex
haust the vitality -of the tree. 14. Ira
perfect fertilization of the blossom In
tjie spring may causo weak fruit that
readily falls from, the tree. There arc,
also, many other causes. When, the
eeeds of tho fruit seem to be welV un
usually well developed some seasons
the fruit seldom falls prematurely. To
prevent premature falling of tho fruit,
keep the trees healthy and free from
Insects;, keep the ground properly
manured, and set your orcharZls in as
sheltered a place as possible, free from
heavy winds and storms. A moderate
thinning of the fruit will cause the
remainder to hold on better. A moder
ate pruning in the spring, tierore bios-
onjng, will also cause the fruit to fall
less than In an nnpruned and' over
burdened tree. To prevent It at all
times Is, of course, impossible. Some
varieties of fruit hold on better and
f
mnko surer crops. Philadelphia Re

For the Winter Met.
Through the summer the diet of the
hens has been somewhat restricted,
grain and especially corn bavlnjt
proved almost too fattening and heat
ing for the weather; but with the first
Indications of the bleak days tho
poultry should have tnelr full winter
diet. This should be given for the
purpose of Increasing the general
health nnd strength of the hens nnd
then for eggs. Hens which do not
have splendid health nnd strength can
not prove good layers df eggs. The
two go together. You may feed hens
on stimulating foods so they will lny
ft few extra eggs, but In a short time
they will give out and prove worthless.
Tho first thing should bo to aim for a
good, nll-rouud diet that will mnke the
birds healthy nud strong. Urnin, corn,
craps of meat, bread, nnd such table
ravings should be fed to them liber-
lly. lo not forget the feeds, which
In the fall of the year can bo collected
In considerable quantities. Ileus like
the seeds of flowers, vegetables mid
wards. They enjoy eating them out
of the pods, nnd tho plants whers
possible should be cut down and
hrown Into the chicken yard. The
work of collecting them will do tht
hens good.
Grain nnd corn are essential now.
You cannot neglect these without en
dangering the health of tho birds,
Whether spring chickens or laying
hens, they should have their dully
grain ration. Rrnii cooked or scalded
is nn excellent food for them,, and fed
hot or cool mornings it proves of grenl
benefit. Overfeeding, of course, musl
bo Avoided. Too much corn and grains
will mnko the hens fnt nnd lazy, and
cnuso indigestion, which will ruin oil
the good obtained. To avoid laztnesfi
make tho hens work part of tho day
for their food. Turn them loose In
some straw with tho grain scattered
around In It, nnd then make them
scratch for It. There are many ways
to mako the laying hens ke?p their?
health eveu wiien fed dally on a full;
well-rounded diet.
Green bones carefully ground, and
oyster nnd clam shells pounded very
fine, are all good In their way, nnd they
do help to Increase the egg output; but
not unless the rest of the diet Is good
and wholesome. It is folly to think
that the ground bone will mnko more
eggs when the hens are bnrcly getting
enough to eat to keep body nnd soul
together. Ihere must be a surplus of
food In the system, and then something
fed to stimulate egg-lay lug may divert
a part of this surplus to the hen's
proper function instead of letting it
nil go to fnt. Care must bo taken that
tho liens do not get fat; any such ten
dency should be checked, for fat hens
do not lnw many eggs. Strong, active
hens, well fed and contented, do.

When the Coir Is t'noonifnrtnlilo.
One cold day Inst year, when the
wind wns blowing a stiff gale and the
air was full of snow, I saw a large
herd of cows out In the fields, trying
hard to nibble the few spears of frozen
grasei which stuck up here and there
through the covering of white. They
looked cheerless nnd uncomfortable
enough. I wondered If their owner
really thought his cattle pot enough
as ti return for their wandering over
those linro fleldB to pay for tho discom
fort they suffered. They surely must
have been hungry ns well as cold that
day. If not, their nppearanco sadly
belled their real feelings.
I nm not one of those who believe
that it Is best to keep cows In the
stnblo the year round. It seems to mc
a most unnatural thing to do. The
cow Is by naturo a great traveler.
Sho enjoys grazing over n wldo terri
tory every day. And It always has
seemed to mo better that sho should
be allowed some out of doors exercise
every day, winter and summer, so I
allow my cows to go out to drink nud
to shake themselves nnd to get the nlr
and suuxhiup whenever there is any
such day. None of us feel well if we
nro coulliicd to tho house all the time,
The cow cannot be much of an excep
tion to the rule.
Put, on tho other hand, my opinion
H that tho matter of cxvrclso may be
overdQiie. Every tlmo a cow gets
thoroughly chilled something Is taken
from her vitality. I-ow vitality meant
a loss of usefulness. The cold and un
comfortable cow cannot do her best.
Instinctively sho begins to worry. It
is a lnw of nature that worry oml
nnxlety Injuro tho creature, man or
animal, which Indulges In It.
Ulght along in this line lies tho other
fact not always taken Into account,
Lvcry cow requires a certain amount
of food to keep tho warmth of her body
up to the normal condition. When she
drops below tho normal she begins to
draw on tho reserve of flesh nud
strength. It cannot be questioned that
to do her best tho cow must be lu good
Cch. A poor cow Is thinking and
wonclng to get enough food to make
her comfortable. If she gets anything
moro than thnt well and good. Her
owner will enjoy tho benefit If she
cannot get sutliclent to maintain her
body at a normal standpoint, she
leaves her owner to suffer the couse-
queuces of his Indiscretion.
So It is the part of good Judgment to
keep the cow warm and otherwise com
fortuble. Bonmlng over the fields in
t,ho winter time In search of a bite of
cold grass will not tend to make her
either warm or comfortable. Better
give her what she needs to eat In the
stablo, where she can eat and enjoy
herself. She wiH appreciate the kind
ness by giving better milk and more
